Meanwhile, MP Chief Minister Kamal Nath said on the arrest of his nephew Ratul Puri: “I have no connection with the business they are doing. To me, it appears to be a purely mala fide action. I have full faith that courts will take corrective stand in this.”

Puri is also an accused in a money laundering case connected to the Rs 3,600-crore AgustaWestland VVIP chopper scam.

On Monday, Special CBI Judge Arvind Kumar had reserved the order for August 21 on Puri’s plea seeking cancellation of a non-bailable warrant (NBW) against him in the case.

On August 14, the Delhi High Court had granted Puri interim protection from arrest till August 20.
